1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: What a ride it has been. Twenty eleven, a new

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: name arrives in top level league.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Johnson straightens up in suns. You'll need a enough ban

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: to work out for rint and he took of the twilight.

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: He was all over the place.

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: If there hasn't been enough written about this young man already,

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: there'll be some more coming his way. Thirteen years on,

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty five games, nearly fifteen hundred points later,

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: Sean Johnson has announced his retirement all time record holding

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: point scorer for the Warriors. He leaves at the end

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: of the season. The Warriors CEO Cameron George is with us.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Cameron Morning, Good morning. How long has it been coming?

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Look, he's been thinking about it for a little while now,

14
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: and then I've got a phone call on Saturday. He

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: spoke to Webby and give me a call and we

16
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: had a chat and yeah, He's the thing about Seane,

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: he likes to make a decision when he's on the field,

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: not when he's out injured. So I think he's been

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: waiting to get back to confirm it.

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: So when the phone rings on Saturday, post the game

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: on Friday, let's not mention that. Do you think hang on,

22
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: this will be interesting.

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I knew it was coming one way or another.

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: But when he rang Saturday, I thought to myself, well,

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: as I was picking up the phone, I felt in

26
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: my stomach that yeah, he wasn't going to press on

27
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: because I think he just would have waited to catch

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: up with us during the week to talk about next year.

29
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, Saturday, he knew it was something and we

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: had a good chat and he's in a good headspace, Sean,

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: and hopefully now he can just go and enjoy the

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: rest of the year with his mates and the fans,

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: and he'll be remembered as one about best.

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: And what did you say?

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, you don't try and change their minds or

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: anything that'll put more pressure on them. I just they're

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: the ones that make the big decisions. And I was

38
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: just really supportive of where he's at, and I said, look,

39
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: my focus now is to celebrate your career and make

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: sure you're okay over the next month or so and

41
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: just enjoy it. So my roles used to be a

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: supportive one during this process.

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Fantastic did the team play for him for the rest

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: of the season, get us and of the eight, get

45
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: us into the final and actually resurrect what is turning out,

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: Cameron to be a bit mess of a season.

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,040
